TALENT HELD MEDIOCRE YauderilUan Has Record as Fighter and Eight Brothers, Sons of English Bishop, Display Athletic Tendencies. BY JAMES H. CASSELL. Vic McLaughlen. lighter, vaudevillian and Physical culturist, who boxed six rounds with Jack Johnson just after the necro won the championship from Tnmmr Burns knocked out Sailor White of New York, in three rounds and otherwise distinguished himself in the ring, believes that Gunboat Smith will be heavyweight champion of the world within a year. Tut Smith Into a rine with MC' Carty. Willard or any of these big r'.iaps. In California, where they permit lnt of Inflehtlnir. ami Gunboat will win the championship." says McLaugh. Irn. who is anncarlne with his oromer, Arthur. In a statue and physical cul ture act which opens the Orpheum bill this week. "He's Just the rough-and-tumble sort of chap, with a punch like the famous one of Fltzslmmons. to win th rhamnionshlo In a ntrht. In a 10 round sparring match, clean breaks. It would be different, but he'll surely win the title If the fight is billed for Cali fornia." McLaughlen has seen all of the big heavies in action in the East, while his brother Fred, sporting the name McKay," succumbed to Smith In a re rent New York fight. "Vic" doesn't think much of Willard. questioning his jrameness. and. as a matter of fact. holds the tribe of heavies, barring Smith, as decidedly mediocre. Victor broke Into the limelight sev eral years ago, challenging Jim Jef fries. Before this he boxed six rounds with Johnson at Vancouver, but later was knocked out In three rounds by Uenver Ed Martin at Tacoma. He de Clares that In 35 fights Martin was the only man to stop him.

Baum. of the Pa cific League, arrived In Los Angeles from San Francisco today to look into the Cook-Parkins-Mltxe affair of last Sunday. In which the players men tion conducted themselves In a man ner which called for immediate action on the part of the league. The trouble started when Hosp was caught between bases, Gardner stabbed at him, missing and Umpire Finney called him safe. Mltxe protested and was ordered from the game. Parkins and Cook then taunted Finney, mak ing vile Insinuations and were fined :. Baum Is a strong believer in discip line on the ball field. He contends that the fans pay to see clean base ball and that be will do all In his power to keep play in the league at the highest possible stand. "I am not going to tolerate any such conduct on the ball field." said Baum. "The fans pay to see clean baseball and they are going to have it." "Umpire Finney was right in his de cision," said Manager Hogan, of the Venice club, at the Seward last night. "Hosp was caught between first and second, but got back to first safely when Gardner missed him. Cook did not play in the game but yelled at Fin ney from the bench."

"Hap" had a fist full of S3 and $10 bills amounting to 3110 all told. "Come up here and get your $5 apiece." he ballyboed at his athletes, who crowded around and grabbed off as many bills as Hap's fingers would let slip. "Hap" had no more Idea of where the money was go ing than the hotel clerk did, but evi dently Hogan harbors no thieves, for 15 minutes later everybody appeared sat lstled. When Charley White knocked out Thomas In three rounds at New Orleans he "crabbed" lucrative mills for Mc Farland and Freddie Welsh.

(Special.) Inabllltv to come to terms on the weight question has resulted In calling eft the Burns-Wolgast 10-round match that was to take place In Oakland on Wednesday night. May 21.

The promoters agreed that the chances did not look good for bring ing the boys together and decided to cancel the engagement and look for some other card. The Oakland people are inclined to blame Jones and to In sinuate that Wolgast is looking for an "out" In order to accept a pros pective match with Johnny Dundee In Los Angeles.
